| On Monday, Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito was asked by Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter to comment on superprecedents and superduperprecedents. Evidently Specter was relieved by Alito's comments that there was something in the nature of a sliding scale in determining whether precedents must be followed. Specter doesn't want to seem responsible for overturning Roe v. Wade. Alito, whose opinions show him to be a judge who carefully follows governing precedents, doesn't want to say whether he would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade or not. My guess is that he's not sure how he would vote and wants to be able to approach any such decision with an open mind. |

| Senators, African-American leaders and students black and white Wednesday paid an emotional tribute to civil rights icon Rosa Parks. In a mixture of gospel songs and speeches, she was remembered as a dignified woman who changed history. Ex-President Clinton revealed how she inspired him as a child to challenge segregation with his own small contribution to the civil rights cause.
